Letter: Newspapers published the wrong names

Newspapers published the wrong names

EDITOR: Gannett Wisconsin Media thought it would be a good idea to print the names, wages and number of years worked by state and municipal workers. I do not know what the newspapers meant to accomplish by this. No man or woman should ever be ashamed of making a good living.

One thing "What We Pay" did not bring up was what these people pay in taxes. I wonder if the newspapers would print the names and benefits of all the people on the welfare system. How about the people who pay no state taxes, no gasoline taxes and no property taxes?

How about all the people, men and women, who are not paying their required child support? How about all the illegal immigrants abusing our health care and educational system?

Maybe it is not the working people the newspaper should be trying to embarrass.
